Establishing the open Web as a basic right and a public good.

We deliver digital equality by securing policy change. Why policy? Decisions made by governments and businesses have far-reaching effects on who can access the web and use it to improve their lives. Influencing relevant policies, rules and regulations for the better brings us closer to the web we want.

How do we influence policies?

Through partnerships and coalitions. We believe in the power of working together, so we work with a wide range of actors from governments, businesses, and civil society to understand the issues, advocate, and collaborate to deliver change.

Advocacy based on evidence. Our work is evidence-based, meaning that our conversations with policy makers — and our related advocacy campaigns — are rooted in robust research, often our own.

We experiment and innovate. What works in one country or city won’t necessarily work in another, so our local coalitions and Labs tailor solutions to local realities.
